A to Z April Challenge: R is for Reefa

This is Day 18 of the A to Z April Challenge. My theme is women with unusual names although
I must cheat now and then or I’ll have a name and no story.

is for Reefa Enis Baugher. She was my third cousin once removed. Her parents were Mary Byrd Duff and James Asa
Baugher. She descended through the
numerous Baughers and Ruckers that had lived in the Beldor/Sandy Bottom area of
Rockingham County, Virginia since the early 1800s. Reefa was the fourth of six children, the
first and last of whom died shortly after birth.

But little Reefa was not long for the world either. She was born in July 1899, and she died
fourteen years later in November 1913.
